This week’s mystery movie has been the 1942 Columbia picture “You Were Never Lovlier,” the second of two movies to feature Fred Astaire and Rita Hayworth. It stars Adolphe Menjou (not shown), Isobel Elsom (Wednesday’s mystery woman), Leslie Brooks (Tuesday’s mystery woman), Adele Mara (Tuesday’s mystery woman), Gus Schilling (Wednesday’s mystery gent) and Xavier Cugat (Thursday’s mystery gent). It was written by Michael Fessier, Ernest Pagano and Delmer Daves, from a story by Carlos Olivari and Sixto Pondal Rios, with music by Jerome Kern, lyrics by Johnny Mercer, photographed by Ted Tetzlaff and directed by William A. Seiter.

I rarely do musicals as mystery movies, so I decided to pull this one out of the archives for variety.

I have given up trying to correct mistakes on imdb, but neither Kern nor Mercer are credited, oddly enough.

And for Monday, we have this happy mystery couple.

This is Kirk Alyn, known for playing Superman in the 1948 serial, with Catherine Craig, whose last film appearance was the 1950 “No Man of Her Own.”

And here’s a trailer for “Superman” from Archive.org, showing Alyn, Tommy Bond as Jimmy Olsen and Noel Neill as Lois Lane.

Thurs mystery guy is Xavier Cugat and Friday’s pair of course is Fred and Rita so this has to be You Were Never Lovelier. Tues singer are Leslie Brooks and Adele Mara; and the ‘oh him’ that day is Gus Schilling. Wen is Isobel Elsom. Monday’s bridal couple are Kirk Alyn and Julia Acuna. Kirk later played Superman with Tommy Bond (from the Our Gang days) as Jimmy Olson.
